FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Konoha (Prior to Dawn of Ashes) ~ Approximately two and a half years ago, the after effects if Orichimaru's jutsu became apparent. At that point in time, the OA world matched approximately chapter 330 of the manga. Shortly after the start of the game, IC!Tsunade went missing. Luckily for Konoha, another Tsunade (Trio!Tsunade) had shown up and took over the place of Hokage. She also had the rest of her team with her. Trio!Orochimaru from her team formed an elite unit called SEBU, and life continued.
People from other worlds kept showing up and were assimilated into the village. After a time of relative peace, the Akatsuki attacked during the chuunin exams. After parts of the village were destroyed, the village recovered and entered a period of peace until once again this time was interrupted by Pain attacking, March 20, 2009.
Konoha (Dawn of Ashes) ~ March 20, 2009 a new Konoha appeared in place of the old one with a new population and no knowledge of the world changing phenomena. Whatever happens will be seen.
Suna ~ Suna has been heavily effected by the world changes. Approximately two years ago, There was a catastrophic event that caused Suna to disappear leaving just a deep hole in it's place. The sand siblings spent most of their time looking for Suna, with the assistance of several people that came and went that are also from Suna. As of 3/20/09, Suna is still missing and the location of everyone from Suna is unknown.
Lightning ~ Rumors have been heard about the possibility of Lightning having some involvement with Akatsuki, however, those have never been confirmed.
Earth ~ Like Suna, Earth disappeared as well; however approximately a year ago, Earth reappeared. It was not the same. The city appeared to be much older, as if it had been abandoned for decades. The ruins stand as a testimony to the destructive power of the phenomena that has plagued the world.
Sound ~ coming soon.
Akatsuki ~ Most characters know that Akatsuki is up to trouble, however, what most characters don't know is -- The space time rift issue has wreaked havoc with Akatsuki. Several members are missing including Konan and Native!Pain is obsessing over a way to bring his team members back. He has taken, by force, what information he could obtain from IC!Kabuto and OC!Jinchou and is trying to revive his team -- when taking over the world is not #1 on his priorities.
Kabuto's clone method - IC!Kabuto performed a forbidden jutsu of his own creation that was a version of cloning. In this jutsu, the body of someone was taken, and the DNA of their body changed to be that of someone else's. It was in this way that IC!Kabuto made OC!Jinchou, a 'clone', even if there was the genetic difference of her being female. This was a painful process and being that Jinchou was the first to survive the process, she had significant health issues from her 'creation'.
This event was repeated by Trio!Orochimaru and Trio!Jiraiya to create OC!Sokouya. He was the son of all three Sanin, since he was created at the age of 10 from the DNA of all three. By this point the process had been refined, however it still was not perfect -- not to mention the moral implications.
Uchiha!Rin worked in pediatrics at the time and became OC!Jinchou's doctor. She eventually became privy to the details of how OC!Jinchou and OC!Sokouya were created. When her brothers wanted to have a child of their own and Otokage!Sasuke approached IC!Kabuto, Uchiha!Rin stepped in and came up with a 'safer' way. The DNA replacement was done on an unfertilized egg, and thus Uchiha Arashi was created without destroying an existing life and Uchiha!Rin carried the child to term.
SEBU - Seibatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai - This organization is similar to ANBU and answers directly to the Hokage. It was founded by an Trio!Orochimaru. This unit's creation was authorized mainly because the acting Hokage at that time (Trio!Tsunade) was dating Trio!Orochimaru . After Trio!Orochimaru also disappeared, Mabu!Izumo took over the division and has used it as a force for gathering information from around the shinobi nations for the good of Konoha. Additionally, this has become the alternate of ANBU for non-natives. As of the March 20th, the members are: Mabu!Izumo, Otokage!Sasuke, ANBU!Itachi, ANBU!SAsuke, OC!Miyuki, Oto!Naruto
ANBU (old world) - Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai (literally Assassination Tactics Special Military Force) - In the face of all the alternates from other worlds and the coucil's distrust of these new people. ANBU has been keeping a closer eye on Konoha than normal. Also, ANBU ranks are closed to non native members.
Uchiha Clan- The Uchiha clan started to reform and rebuild. For some unknown reason the world changing phenomena seems to have effected Uchiha statistically more. Several versions of the various Uchiha have turned up in the world -- plus two new Uchiha have been born. Uchiha Hitsuki on December 3, 2006 and Uchiha Arashi on January 7, 2009. Due to Otokage!Sasuke, the Uchiha clan has strong connections with Sound.
